Any additional mailer added by a person in addition to the two mailer minimum during the Contest Period will result in one additional automatic Contest entry per mailer for that person during the Prize Period in which the additional mailer is added. Only one bill per mailer will be considered towards entry (e.g.: two bills registered with the same mailer utility company will be considered one mailer). Entries received during a Prize Period are valid for that Prize Period only.

A random draw for each Prize, as defined below, from all eligible entries received for the applicable Prize Period (each a "Draw") will take place the next week following the end of each Prize Period in Toronto, ON at approximately 11:00 AM EST. For example, the Draw for Prize Period 1 will take place on Monday, May 7, 2018.

Each Draw will be conducted by the promotion agency: Promotion Solutions. If for any reason there are no eligible entries for a particular Draw, the Prize will not be awarded. The entrant selected in each Draw will be contacted by email or telephone within two (2) business days of the Draw date. If the selected entrant (a) does not respond to the email or phone call within five (5) business days of receipt; (b) fails to correctly answer the skill testing question posed; or (c) fails to return the properly executed release form within the specified time, then he/she will be disqualified from the Contest for the applicable Prize Period and another entrant will be randomly selected until such time as the Prize is awarded to a selected entrant or there are no more eligible entries for the applicable Prize Period, whichever comes first. The Sponsor will not be responsible for failed attempts to contact a selected entrant.
